Pharmacy Clearing 2011

Yeah that's exactly what I am worried about. I worked out that even if I go down the foundation route and do an extra year, I can still save £21,000 which is a lot of money in my opinion. So I am now frantically searching for alternative routes to gain entry into MPharm. What's your firm and insurance and what sort of grades are you expecting?

My firms uclan and they are asking for 3 B's. I don't really have an insurance. When I think about the exams my mind just goes blank but I'm not confident that I'll get the grades I need. Let's just hope the unis that we have applied to will be lenient. Wbu?

You know how some people are saying that if they don't get in to pharmacy this year and they'll apply to another course and then get transferred won't they still have to pay the 9 grand when they get transferred?

So.. everyone got the offer of ABB from Wolves, why was it so high? Wolves isn't rated that great (not saying it's a bad uni as I applied) but I just don't understand it

Those who are thinking of trying a different route need to consider this seriously. If you start an undergraduate course and then transfer to pharmacy, chances are you will pay the £9000 from the start of the pharmacy degree.

If you move university you will then start paying the £9000

From a Science Foundation year you need to check with the university if they are going to keep you on the old fee structure.

Advice: go back and sit A-levels again if you can and desparately want to be a pharmacist. Or wake up, smell the coffee and get on with a different degree and get on with your life.

At our institution, whilst not in clearing for pharmacy, the grades / points for the other science courses have increased to get better qualified students from science students who did not get into their first choices.

I note there was a thread slagging off failed medics and dentists taking places of pharmacy applicants. If you choose to do a science course with the thought of transferring then you are no better and are simply taking the place of someone who wants to be a scientist. So before you do this, chances are you will not transfer from another course, it is simply another last bite at the cherry for those who are still yet to come to terms with the fact they will never get onto a pharmacy degree.

Harsh i understand, but for the vast majority of applicants it is true.

I don't think DMU are in clearing as well, on their site on the Pharmacy description page it says: "Pharmacy is now closed to Home/EU applications for 2011 entry." Now all I can hope is that they've been lenient with me or that people decline the offer :/ horrible feeling now :/

i have horrible feelings too
my firm is bradford and insurance is DMU and neither of them are in clearing

I got someone to send DMU an email, they replied saying: "We don't yet know if MPharm will be in clearing." So there is some hope!

Hopefully we'll be fine, my backup is Kingston but not to keen on going there because of its ratings on the league table but hey MPharm is MPharm at the end of the day

most unis are publishing their clearing lists wednesday afternoon so hopefully more Pharmacy courses will be available to those who have narrowly missed their grades ( C4 went bad and Chem was dodgy so i dont think ive got BBB for Reading)

Possibility for UEA to go into clearing (not sure theyll lower their requirements or if I want to go that far) will be announced here:

Ive been there for an openday and its a wonderful uni but it is quite far from where I live :/
